Tired

54 hours without sleep. 3 exams gone by in between. Watching the screen for more than 26 hours straight now. Lost the only game of pool I played. My team mates do not want to play with me in Halo. Apparently I suck! Yes, I do. I really do. Spare me. I get back home and pour my first drink in what I had planned would be a flood of booze. Just then, phone call from India. Grandma is hospitalized. Cousin meets an almost fatal hospital on her birthday. Am at a loss of words and at the same time numb. John Stewart's 'The Daily Show' is reduced to a noise in the background. No interviews this week anymore and Sachin is going to NY tomorrow. Would be home alone. 10000 miles away from home. God, take care of my loved ones while I get some sleep.

Amen!
